[Javascript] Hyperlinks in forms?

Thu Jan 24 11:44:54 CST 2002

Sounds to me you want something like this.....

======================
<body>

<script>
  function send_form(link,form) {
    document.forms[form].link.value = link;
//    alert(document.forms[form].link.value);
    document.forms[form].submit();
  }

</script>

<form name="form1" action="#" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="link">
<input type="text" name="field1">
</form>

<a href="javascript:send_form('a','0');">link
a</a><br>
<a href="javascript:send_form('b','0');">link b</a>

</body>

===============================================
